No the first names are not the same. Also in the full name fields one is listed first name last name and the other is listed last name, first name.

Last names obviously are save for the s at the end. What happens if you search the people form for the first and last name of either user? Do you get both as a result? --- J.T.

I have not seen the error you are reporting on users except where Full Name was identical, and I don't remember if that was in a group notification or an individual one, but we had problems with groups that had similar names, and had to add a prefix to one to distinguish between them properly. BTW, watch out for BMC Remedy developed code that tries to match on Full Name, ludicrous as that seems (and is) - there is still code in ITSM 7 that tries to do that!!
